Around 1820, Robert Ronnet created a carded wool spinning mill on the Machère stream, on the site of the old Thelonne paper mill. The owner's house bears this date and the initials R and M, in reference to the founder and his wife. After his death in 1857, his sons Narcisse and Élisée modernized the factory, adding a steam engine and expanding it in 1888 with a building and offices.
The spinning mill, weakened after the Second World War, closed in 1963. Taken over in 1965 by the hardware company Vynex, it became a packaging site that is still active, employing around 195 people (2020).
The site comprises six shed-roofed workshops with limestone rubble walls, timber framing and cast iron posts, as well as a large brick workshop. To the south, the stone master's house has a slate roof and stuccoed ceilings. To the east, a former storage building made of limestone rubble and an asbestos cement roof runs alongside the street.
